Rum Barrels - aka Baby Elephant killers

Last night I cruised along to a 33rd birthday party at a Thai themed place called “Mai Kai”. It used to be one of the biggest and best places to go to in Ft Lauderdale back in the 50s and 60s and today it still rocks. Apparently there was a deal going on that if you bought one rum barrel you’d get another one free. Awesome. So I bought two, giving me 2 free drinks later on. A couple of points must be made:

  1. A rum barrel is $14 *each*. Ouch!
  2. I don’t know what the hell was in them, but they were effen strong! Someone said that each rum barrel was like 6 standard drinks. Kapow!
  3. I had 4 of these buggers. Boom!
  4. I also had a few sake bombs *and* a Heineken. Thud!

I quickly pointed out to everyone there why my nickname is PK. Let’s just say that I was incredibly drunk but still maintained my composure and my stomach contents. I swear people were looking at me waiting for me to keel over and die. I did get the comment that I had enough alcohol in me to kill a baby elephant.

“Here’s to PK he’s true blue.
He’s a piss-pot through and through.
He’s a bastard so they say,
Tried to go to heaven but he went the other way”

Wasn’t I supposed to stop binge drinking once I left Uni?

Quote of the day

My friend said this to me whilst I was talking to him on the telephone. I didn’t actually realise this myself…

It’s not easy making lots of money

Damn. Damn. Damn. Oh well, I better save up some money for those lottery tickets.

North Korean hairstyle guidelines

Found this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4157121.stm whilst trawling the net, where North Korea has launched an ad campaign against long hair. My favourite part of the article, because it’s just so stupid:

It stressed the “negative effects” of long hair on “human intelligence development”, noting that long hair “consumes a great deal of nutrition” and could thus rob the brain of energy.

How the hell does long hair consume any more nutrition when hair comes out of the scalp dead? I’m looking for some “gotcha” phrase. I can’t find one. The mind boggles.
